On Wednesday evening, Dan Bongino revealed his show would return in February after he departed his role as Deputy Director of the FBI.
In his statements, Bongino shared details of his return by stating that, “The show is definitely coming back,” and that there would be a coming “press release with Westwood One and Rumble this coming Monday, so just a few days from now, which will provide the day. It’s going to be early February, and we’re going to be ready to roll.”
He continued by noting that his show would “be two hours now, though” and would air from 10 AM-Noon ET.
Barrett Media interpreted those comments to mean that The Dan Bongino Show would return to the nationally syndicated news/talk radio lineup from Westwood One, where he previously hosted a three-hour show from 12-3 PM ET.
However, after speaking with high-level industry sources, it appears that is not the case. Bongino is only returning to his podcast, with Westwood One set to handle advertising sales for the program. He will not be returning to terrestrial radio as part of the nationally syndicated lineup from Westwood One.
The Chris Plante Show and The Brian Kilmeade Show will remain in national syndication from 9 AM to 12 PM ET, and VINCE — from Vince Coglianese — will remain in the 12-3 PM ET timeslot.

I was SO hoping that Dan would return to his three hour radio slot – Vince is very good, but Dan he is not 🙁
